(57) A digital electronics unit (81), missile, and missile system for a tube-launched missile. The invention utilizes a positional status mechanism (10) to structure signals from the on-board gyro system (80) and a directional mechanism (11) to separate signals from an operator. These signals are handled by a digital micro-controller (12) to create the proper control signals for manipulation of the missile in the missile system.
